Striving for a manageable inbox

As the average number of emails I receive per day continues to climb, I realized it’s time: time to get a handle on my inbox.

I’m a bit of a productivity geek, a regular zero inbox practitioner, and an advocate for Mark Hurst’s Bit Literacy. But, there is an issue: at what point does the cost of being productive make one unproductive? Based on the flood of irrelevant emails I receive, I think I’m reaching that tipping point – one can only make so many filters and distribution rules.

So, I’m breaking down and giving SaneBox a shot despite my extreme skepticism. I’ve read nothing but positive reviews from former skeptics, though, so you could call me a hopeful skeptic.
